Drama. Well sutton.

'sOlio." BARLEY Campbelrs spectacular
and romantic drama, began its engagement
at the Grand, last night, to an audience that
jammed the upper part of the house and
we'll filled the lower. The play. like all of
Bartley's is filled with pretty and aIltera-
tive catch sentences, heroic to high degree
and appealing forcibly to the high moral
sentiment which. strangely enough. abounds
most strongly in the gallery. But it is
quite pretty and interesting play and
romantic. as the bills say, beyond doubt
1t abounds in love, honor and jealousy. all
put forth in Campbel's pretty platitudes.
The idea is somewhat like '.Lorle," except
that it was IN artists dream, and this is the
dream of a sculptor. Unlike ''Iorle," there
is much OF the spectacular in Clio" the

MINOR MATTERS.

Figures Concerning the Tariff on Sugar-Wi1l
Free-Traders Please Look at Them.
Washington Special.
The tariff of 1888 reduced and rearranged the
duty on sugar in tho expectation of cutting off
revenue, but tbs lower prices in the markets of
the world and increased consumption have
made the revenue larger instead of smaller. In
the three years ending in 1885, s14S5000 600 was
collected sugar under the tariff; in the
previous three years, $137. SOC, 900, increase
of S., 900, 600. The new duty was intended to be
a newer ad valorem rate. but the great reduction
IN the price of sugar has rendered the rate of du
ty higher In 1856. it was 20 40 per cent. and
in 1885, IS &c. the highest rate since the war,
twice the rate fifteen years ago. and half
higher than the average under the last tariff.
Under the low price and great posperity of the
pas. four years consumption has increased over
one-quarter IL pounds, while the amount paid
has decreased fifth. As it stands. the duty
on sugar is one of the highest on the list but no
Democratic free-trade paper ventures to urge
the remission of this duty on food.

A GAS ECCNO1IIZER.
Successful Experiments with an Invention
for Saving and improving 1t.

Successful Experiments with an Invention
for Saving and Improving 1t.
Chicago Mail.
An interesting test of a recent invention for
economizing gas made last evening with
suits that seem almost incredible. The inven-
ton consists of an iron box filed with hydro
carbon attached TO the supply pipe, through
which the gas passes after having gone through
the meter, and by combination with the dydro-
carbon is very much enriched in heating ana IL
Illuminating power.
A test given yesterday afternoon showed the
following results: City gas passing through the
economizer and burning through half foot tips.
five lights burned one cubic foot Of gas in nine
minutes and thirty-Slx seconds. and gave light
fully equal in volume and luminosity to straight
city gas burned through four foot tips. The
half-foot tips were then taken of and five four
foot tips substituted. and the straight city gas
turned on. This time cubic foot Of gas
consumed in minute and twenty seconds. or
in less than one sixth the time occupied in con-
Stunning the new gas, and with no better light
indicating actual saving of over so per cent.
the plan of introducing this process is that the
consumer shall be charged nothing whatever for
for the use of the machine. nor for replenishiuC
it. nor for changing the burners; he IS only re-
Quired to pay one-half the amount of saving, so
that if the saving were so per cent the net re-
duction to the consumer would be 40 per cent.
In the of gas for fuel a still greater saving
is indicated. An ordinary gas heater burned
one foot of straight city gas in sixteen minutes.
With the aid of the new process 1t took precisely
sixtyminutes to burn one foot of gas IN the same
heater. saving of about 80 per cent. But
this was not all. By ingenious mixture of
natural air with the new gas its heating power
was nearly doubled An equal quantity of
water Was heated to the boiling point by the
city gas in fifteen minutes and fifteen seconds.
and by the new gas mixed with air IN eight
minutes and twenty seconds. In this way it is
estimated that Illuminating gas can be burned
in kitchen range at cost of about ST. for
